INTRODUCTION

This part of IEC 60455 is one of a series which deals with specifications for resin based

reactive compounds used for electrical insulation

The series consists of three parts:

• Part 1: Definitions and general requirements (IEC 60455-1)

• Part 2: Methods of test (IEC 60455-2)

• Part 3: Specifications for individual materials (IEC 60455-3)

IEC 60455-3-2 is one of the specification sheets comprising Part 3, as follows:

Sheet 2: Quartz filled epoxy resinous compounds

RESIN BASED REACTIVE COMPOUNDS USED

FOR ELECTRICAL INSULATION – Part 3: Specifications for individual materials – Sheet 2: Quartz filled epoxy resinous compounds

1 Scope

This part of IEC 60455 contains the requirements for quartz filled epoxy resinous compounds in

the cured form for types EP-F-1 to EP-F-7 Other materials than quartz may be introduced

later

2 Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document For

dated references, only the edition cited applies For undated references, the latest edition of

the referenced document (including any amendments) applies

Methods of test

3 Requirements

The requirements for quartz filled epoxy resinous compounds in the cured form are given in

Table 2 If not otherwise specified, the requirements are for (23 ± 2) °C

NOTE 1 Materials with fillers different from quartz may be added as additional tables

Quartz filled epoxy resinous compounds purporting to comply with this standard shall contain

between 45 % and 65 % by mass of quartz filler

NOTE 2 Materials for use in lower or higher temperature conditions may require additional tests to establish their

suitability

4 Special requirements

When any of the following special properties are prescribed in the purchase contract, the

method of test given below shall be used
